United Deploying Their 787-9s Out Of Houston Later This Year

ACT QUICKLY! Award Seats To/From Europe With No Fuel Surcharges
ETA: I put a few of these on hold and even though they show a Business Saver award, the cabin says “Economy”. Beware before ticketing. Not sure how this will work out. The toughest part about getting to and from Europe as an American Airlines elite member who lives on the east coast is fuel surcharges on British Airways. There’s reasonable availability for business class travel for my family, but the fuel surcharges make it much more expensive. That’s the positive and negative of oneworld availability. US Airways has flights […]

I’ve been planning a family trip this summer to Italy and it came together to include some pretty special elements for my family and I. As the final pieces came into place this weekend I thought I would share the story. Parts of this are special just for our family or for an airline geek like […]
Why It Pays To Pay Attention To Miles And Points
If you’re a regular reader of this blog you probably already have a love of travel. But, do you pay enough attention to miles and points? My wife’s best friend is the classic example of someone who’s “too busy” to spend time thinking about miles and points. She’s super smart, makes a good living and enjoys travel with her family.
